BEPSII, the Biogeochemical Exchange Processes at Sea-Ice Interfaces research community (www.BEPSII.org), has funding available to support early career scientists in research collaborations and exchanges related to biogeochemistry of sea-ice and the polar environment. We are particularly interested in supporting short visits between institutions but will also consider other relevant collaboration activities (examples of some past awards can be found here).

The first Glaciology in Machine Learning Summer School (GlaMacLeS) will be held June 16th-24th, 2024 at the Taft-Nicholson Center in the Centennial Valley, Southwest Montana.
GlaMacLeS is intended to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly changing interface of glaciology with machine learning and artificial intelligence. The course is oriented towards PhD students and early-stage postdocs that have strong foundational knowledge in glaciology, modeling, or remote sensing, and that wish to integrate ML methods into their research while simultaneously working to establish a community of practice. We will cover a broad range of topics, including foundations of neural networks and Gaussian processes, ice sheet model emulation across scales, and deep learning for glacier remote sensing, among others.

Apply for the IGS EGG Conference Grant
The International Glaciological Society (IGS, https://www.igsoc.org/), alongside the Early-career Glaciology Group (EGG, https://igsegg.org/), invites applications for the inaugural IGS EGG Conference Grant.
This grant aims to provide financial support to early career researchers in any field of cryospheric research to enable them to attend, and participate in, conferences and meetings that are fully or partly sponsored by the IGS. The grant also aims to increase participation of early-career, underrepresented minorities in cryospheric research (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour; BIPOC), as well as those who do not have access to traditional sources of funding. More details can be found below.
